WHANGAREI.
We sliall miss the tenor 'orn when 'any goes to Kamo. What did J. S. do with that bottle he planted in the fern at the Kamo ball ? Oh Mr Bain, you'll be our bane, So many pheasants you have slain. The dance in connection with the Volunteer concert was rather a rough-and-tumble affair. No wonder Bobbie B. looked riled And at the teeth did foam A rival swain beside her smiled And helped to see her home. The engineer of the Rotoiti is the white-headed boy with the old man, and the daughters are gracicms. Roto-titi-iti ! " Twenty love-sick maidens we," is the song of our girls since W. W. gave up boating. " Patience," dear girls ! There was a bush opera (or rather uproar) improvised by some young men in the street the other night, but a constable kindly furnished some of them with a night's lodging. P. W., late of the Thames, goes very often to the coal shoot. When fond affection warms the soul A man must be too tame If he require a lump of coal To warm the expiring flfiaic. Poor fellow ! He looked very sad when that Miss M. had not come to the dance.
